PM Modi` security to be tightened: Rajnath Singh

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday held a high-level meeting in which National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba and Director Intelligence Bureau Rajiv Jain were present to review the Prime Minister`s security in the wake of inputs about threat to the PM`s life. The Home Minister directed that all necessary measures be taken in consultation with other agencies to suitably strengthen the security arrangements for the prime minister. The security of PM Modi will be strengthened in the wake of reports of an assassination plot against him by the Maoists.

The home ministry is also in receipt of a report from Maharashtra Police regarding certain communications amongst individuals having links to Maoists organisations containing references to targeting the Prime Minister.
